Jul. 11th, 2015 12:15 pmToday, no one's home but me and I have no obligations except laundry. It is lovely. I am spending the day knitting and listening to the audiobook of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell* and having a wonderful lunch.
Two food things that are making me very happy:
- I buy most of my tea from adagio.com - I tend to buy four to five 3 oz bags at a time, as I like to have a variety, and I find that generally lasts me about three months. Of course, that means that I have to choose fairly carefully or I won't have something I want (or worse, be stuck with a tea I don't enjoy) for a quarter of a year. The last time I bought tea, I neglected to get a lapsang souchong** and found that I missed it a lot. Last week was my most recent tea order and I did get one this time and oh, it is so wonderful.
- Today for lunch, I made sauteed radishes. If you have never sauteed radishes and you like radishes, you should get on that, because they are delicious. I just did them with butter and salt, which was great, but next time I might add a little honey at the end. So good!
*Mom and I are watching the show, so I thought it was time to revisit the book. This was an excellent decision. The show is a lot of fun and not at all curbing my affection for Mr Norrell. I spend a lot of time watching it (or listening to the book) and saying things like, "Oh god, you are the worst, you are the most terrible person ever, I love you." He is so awful, I want to hug him all the time.
**I have a general rule of thumb when making my tea purchases which is: one fruity tea, one floral (usually their Summer Rose, which is so good, OMG), one warm (something spicy/nutty/apple-flavored), and one dark. The dark is usually a lapsang souchong but last time I had a pu ehr blend, which was the wrong choice. I mean, it was fine and I drank it, but I like smoky teas better.
